Sounds like a UT fan, hmm?

I can't throw any stones at anyone's school here; my BS was finally cobbled together from more schools than I can count. Trying to get enough residency credits to qualify for a degree from that school while on active duty can be a bit of a challenge.

My package I got from the base education office on retirement lists 394 semester hours...sheesh. And then, with a BS (with 4.0 average), GRE verbal & analytical scores in the top 10% (no comment on the math score, but I did OK), I STILL had to take the Texas Academic Skills Test before enrolling in a gradute program with UTSA (U of Texas, San Antonio) because I'd never 'taken any classes with a Texas institution'. They had to, as they explained, make sure I was 'prepared' for college level work, dont'cha know...

Some of the questions on that test bore a striking resemblence to the ones on that Marine test... I may be a wee bit of a cynic, but I have an inkling the money charged for the test might have had a bit to do with that requirement (but, to be fair, they have since dropped that requirement for those entering with degrees).

Good morning everyone! What GREAT letters today..to all our HERO Troops out there, thank you, and hand salute from an old Army grunt.

GOOD MORNING TO ALL!

BOY! That's some great letters from our service people!

To AFCAT: GROOOWWWWWWLLLLLL!!!

That test was originally designed for USL (University of Slow Learners) in Lafayette, but was later adopted for use as a prerequisite for a bachelor's degree at Texas A & M.
LOL!
Y'all have a great day!
